Thorns are in!

AFL sucks balls.

[Yossarian]

Did you have to call your team the bandits rubin? :lol:

[rubin]

Did you have to call your team the bandits rubin? :lol:

It was deliberate for u blokes

[Pieface]

I'm in. I'm in position one as far as I can see woot!

[Yossarian]

Bump code in header.

[Johnny Canuck]

Masten is in the squad, but is the most likely to be cut once he goes back to normal.

[Shadesy]

Kruezer and Hampson will be the 1-2 as Warnock is a few weeks away, so could be a good early season pick!

Looks like Hampson will play forward so Krueze will get plenty around the ground!

[Funky_Cliff]

I'm in too guys. Go Water Bottles

[LarryLong]

I think I'm in. I'm very close to picking a team comprised entirely of players I don't like. Masten, Broughton, Selwood, Hawthorn players. It's going to be so bittersweet if I get up.

[Yossarian]

Masten is a jet.

[Johnny Canuck]

Go Richmond, and Kelly's Mom MMA.

[Johnny Canuck]

im in.The closet.

[Yossarian]

Where is boobin?

[Johnny Canuck]

See the post above your question.

[Pieface]

Where is boobin?


The closet.

I have NFI how to do this dreamteam thing.

[Johnny Canuck]

Honestly, I think he is away with Adam Scott and his chick. They are all good mates.

[Pieface]

Sniped!

[LarryLong]

Masten is a jet.

Agreed. But he makes me nervous. Will this year be the one he actually decides to turn up?

My plan is to pick Dustin Martin and a bunch of randoms. You really don't need anybody else.

[Yossarian]

The article on dicks of dreamteam on DT Talk is quite hilarious in its take on Masten.

[Johnny Canuck]

Good article with some.great inclusions.

[Yossarian]

Bump

[rubin]

Rubin is Canadia right now, currently in Vancouver after being in banff for 2 and a half weeks.

Fwiw - we need to get ice hockey to aus, cause it is ****in awesome! Saw Calgary vs. Phoenix on Thursday night, and it's no wonder they say hockey players have no teeth..... They hit each other bloody hard.

[Johnny Canuck]

You can't truly appreciate it until you see it live.

[rubin]

You can't truly appreciate it until you see it live.

Went to the game with my bro, his gf, and a few other people I met over here. One of the guys played for his state side (alberta) and was great on giving me a rundown on how the game works. The thing that I thought was awesome, is the they have rules on how and when people can fight, and all the other blokes just stand around watching! Better atmosphere than footy as well, everyone really gets into it.

[Johnny Canuck]

There is actually a fighters "code" that most will follow. Not as brutal as Watty thinks.

[zacdullard]

I'm in.

[Shadesy]

My team is all types of Awesome....

[Ashes]

I'm a late entry; Hardcore Supastars. If my daughter has a nap this arvo I may even name a team...

[Shadesy]

I'm a late entry; Hardcore Supastars. If my daughter has a nap this arvo I may even name a team...

Comp starts tonight mate, in about 2 hours!

[Ashes]

All good, was a big rush but got a team in. Just realized I've got $1.2M unspent tho... Lol

[Shadesy]

All good, was a big rush but got a team in. Just realized I've got $1.2M unspent tho... Lol

Ummmmm

[Ashes]

At least I can look forward to a few major player upgrades down the track I guess..

[LarryLong]

Ashes, you can still change all of your team other than the GWS and swans players - it's open again until Thursday, but you can't trade out or bring in players from tonight's teams.

Pretty happy with my left field punt on Rhys Palmer in my midfield this year - I reckon he'll be a keeper. Nice ton from Bugg too, but I guess everybody has him in their side.

[Shadesy]

I think bugg was on the bench for me :-/

[Johnny Canuck]

I don't see Palmer as a left field punt. I've got him on both of my teams.

Good price for a guy that can put up some numbers, even if he can't kick.

[Ashes]

Yeah, Palmers a ball magnet. Freo played him out of pos last year so his stats were way down.

[Yossarian]

Yep palmer here to, the not being able to kick is a bonus for dreamteam as it means he gets to go fetch it again now and then.

[Shadesy]

I think I trading him out Friday to have Giles in the ruck and Bartel came in hmmmm!

Gee he kicked some helicopters last night....

Edit I brought shuey in for Palmer!

[LarryLong]

There's nothing better than seeing one of your players pass it to a team mate on the bounce and then back up for the handball. Carrazzo is a master of that too, but I haven't got him this year.

[rubin]

first time I've had a chance to review my team, and I've had to make some pretty major changes.

fortunately i didnt have any GWS or swans players in my team so it was all ok. projected score after round 1 - 1,912.

[Yossarian]

You have no GWS players? Enjoy the race for the spoon.

[rubin]

not at this stage. im sure some will get traded in throughout the season.

[Yossarian]

Thats a good move, wait for them to increase in price.

[Shadesy]

Haha I have 6... Traded out Kennedy the day before though!

Bugg as emergency on my bench so hoping smedts or Morris don't play so I can get the Bugg points!

I went for the captain loophole with magner as my captain and goodes as VC, think I'll put murph as my captain should carve up Richmond!

[Ashes]

I've got 6 from GWS as well, but no Bugg unfortunately... Only had one not playing first game which wasn't bad considering how quickly I named a side (2 hours, 90% of which was trying to think of a team name). Will probably struggle early but I'm looking to do a Bradbury and come from miles back and wait for everyone to fall over anyway.

[rubin]

IMO - not much happens in the first 2 or 3 rounds historically. everyone is about even par with everyone else. after that when you get an indication as to who's gonna be on fire and who wont is when it will make a difference.

I do expect some big numbers to come from some of the GC guys though.

[Pieface]

I am awesome I had a swans player who didn't even play selected :lol:

[Yossarian]

IMO - not much happens in the first 2 or 3 rounds historically. everyone is about even par with everyone else. after that when you get an indication as to who's gonna be on fire and who wont is when it will make a difference.

That could have something to do with values not changing for the first 3 rounds?

Yes but you are going to burn trades if you want some cash cows, there are others out there but not having ANY GWS players is going to hurt.

Enjoy the spoon.


I do expect some big numbers to come from some of the GC guys though.

I expect some big numbers from some of the guys at the 17 other clubs as well.

[Yossarian]

Bump still a few spots are you won't come last!

[Ashes]

I forgot it was starting again tonight. Going to have to live with the rubbish team I selected in a hurry. Luckily I've got the $$ to hopefully buy my way out of trouble...

[Pieface]

Dr Dreamteam posted his final team. Looks like the bugger stole most of my forward line!

I think those who know what they are doing are going to streak away once trading starts.

[rubin]

f***ing Vickery! The crab only racked up 30 odd points.

[Yossarian]

Giles would be looking good now. Or kreuzer.

[rubin]

Kreuzer went very well - thank god for the late trade.

[Johnny Canuck]

No GWS? Interesting. I have 5 and 6 on my two squads. Kennedy in both benches though. A late trade in of Cotchin on one team was a solid move. Unique player who could have a great year.

[Yossarian]

Kreuzer went very well - thank god for the late trade.

So you went kreuzer and vickery as your rucks? maric would have been a better option in terms of cash and points IMO.

[rubin]

nope - had vickery in the forward line.

big cox is the other ruck

[Yossarian]

Fair enough, it must hurt having most of the GWS rookies score more than that.

[rubin]

u win some u lose some.

[Shadesy]

Giles would be looking good now. Or kreuzer.

This is my Ruck Combination ;-)

Solid points (91 & 76) but looking good for some big Price Increases.... Had Maric all the way through but went with Giles and Added another Premium into the Forward line.

JC - I had Bugg on my Bench (as E) and with Billy Smedts being named, went all semblance of trying to get a non starter on my team to gain his points.
Also Dropped Kennedy but have him in my supercoach Team.

Nice with Cotchin, looks set for a huge year...

Had Kane Lucas at a nice $200K but saw the sub vest on him, and late trade out. 40 points in a 1/4 shows potential, maybe to hasty with the decision.

[Yossarian]

Barring injury hard to see lucas getting an extended run throughout the year and his price tag is a bit too high to make him a great cash cow IMO. Good player though!

[Shadesy]

Barring injury hard to see lucas getting an extended run throughout the year and his price tag is a bit too high to make him a great cash cow IMO. Good player though!

Not sure.. will play if fit, and is a ball magnet. Is prone to the Green Vest Though and see him getting to $350K....

Awkward starting price but I had about $260K left and saw him as the best bet.

[Moe Norman]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Fw6Kjrq3HHc#!

[Pieface]

Murphy + Captain = profit :)

I am worse at this than golf. I have more than $800k worth of players who don't even play this weekend :lol:

[BrisWesty]

Yag-less!

[Shadesy]

Yag-less!

Good from you!

2 tackles!!!!!

[Yossarian]

Go Magner!

[Ashes]

I've completed my thorough prep for this season by forgetting to organize who's in and out of my starting line up, and to name emergencies... Always useful when some of your premium players are sitting on the bench (especially when you've underspent and have few premiums to begin with). Looking forward to the NAGA award this week.

[Johnny Canuck]

Go Magner!

Ouch.

[Shadesy]

Ouch.

Awesome!!

[Yossarian]

Should have gone with Tippet, still hindsight is always a bitch. A least I didn't pick vickery.

[Shadesy]

Should have gone with Tippet, still hindsight is always a bitch. A least I didn't pick vickery.

Ablett (c) and Thompson = woody!!

[Johnny Canuck]

If Rubin were a footy player, who would he be? I am guessing David Swallow.

[Yossarian]

andrew is better looking.

Broughton is my only real regret at this point.

[Ashes]

How did everyone go in round 1? And who is everyone (for those not on a first name basis)?

Hardcore Supastars put on 1694. Reasonably happy with that; $1M in the kitty to be deployed in upgrades down the track and a few premiums sitting on the bench doing nothin. Only one DNP and no complete duds.

[Shadesy]

Scrapped 2006, back line was non existent, but some great cash cows early doors!

Magnet, Bugg, Giles, Motlop, Hall, Redden!

[rubin]

1781 for me.

Made some poor choices and will be trading them out ASAP. Only early days though

[LarryLong]

Forgot to make the all-important changes when the teams were announced, and to make things worse I forgot to name any emergencies. Still managed a solid 1918 with three donuts, but I think I've got some trading to do.

[Johnny Canuck]

Dr Dreamteam is a dick.

[Yossarian]

1781 for me.

Made some poor choices and will be trading them out ASAP. Only early days though

You are aware you only get two trades a week yeah? You might beat Pieface though.


Dr Dreamteam is a dick.

Haha, how much did he pip you by?

I am regretting the late removal of Goddard and Delidio for Broughton and Shaw. Bloody Ross Lyon.

[Yossarian]

How did everyone go in round 1? And who is everyone (for those not on a first name basis)?

Hardcore Supastars put on 1694. Reasonably happy with that; $1M in the kitty to be deployed in upgrades down the track and a few premiums sitting on the bench doing nothin. Only one DNP and no complete duds.

I'm cexy kids.

Shadesy is Thorns

JC is something about moms

Rubin is an ass bandit.

Pieface came last.

[Pieface]

I don't understand the interface at all...I had over 400 points worth of players on the bench, I swore they were on the field when I finished screwing around with my team. A mid 1700's might have been a smidge less shameful.

[Yossarian]

Did simmsy teach you how to use the internet??

[Pieface]

****

[BrisWesty]

2056 with Yagmoor on the field and Bugg on the bench.

[LarryLong]

Will there be a partial lockout this week for Friday night last minute changes after the Thursday game?

I might need to blow some early trades.

[Funky_Cliff]

A hopeless 1748 mainly thanks to a rubbish defence. Bad move I think taking a gamble on Lake...A better captain would have helped too. Going for swallow I think this week given they're playing the Giants

[Pieface]

Watch out lads...I might muster 15 scoring players onto the paddock this week!

[Shadesy]

any panic trades yet?

[Yossarian]

Negative, thinking about a couple of rookie trades but will hold on till teams announced.

[Shadesy]

I'll wait to this week to see how the Rookies go, Then get a couple of Cash Cows in there. Im already up half a mil or so based on last weeks scores.

[LarryLong]

Subbed in Reece Conca this week based on his sub-affected 35 from a quarter and a half against Carlton. He scored 85 this week. I'm a genius.

Yes, I know burning trades is pretty poor at this point in the game.

[Shadesy]

Looking at 2300 if Buddy and Enright can have good games!

[rubin]

Deledio - look out! Had a blinder!

[LarryLong]

Everybody's got Lids, haven't they?

[Yossarian]

I don't the soft tissue injury worried me.

My team went full retard, not helped by a drunken trade in the non reversible point of the partial lockout. How embarrassment. Still beat rubes though!

[Johnny Canuck]

What was the retard trade?

[Yossarian]

I can't bring myself to say. It might pan out.

[Pieface]

Did I come last again? Can't see **** until tomorrow...

[Shadesy]

Enright and broughton... Gone!

2103!

[Yossarian]

Broughton has always been a bit more lockdownish. But with Silvangi coming back soon could equal more mid time. I dunno.

Enright had an interrupted pre season I think?

[Shadesy]

Broughton has always been a bit more lockdownish. But with Silvangi coming back soon could equal more mid time. I dunno.

Enright had an interrupted pre season I think?

Lack of good backs, I want carrazzo in there but I will have too many Carlton players!

Pav and Goodes not racked a ton yet, still had over 2000 each week!

Will burn 2 trades to get some rooks in this week!

What was your trade Yoss! Spill!

[Johnny Canuck]

I can't bring myself to say. It might pan out.


Karmichael Hunt?

Barlow could pan out.

[Yossarian]

Barlow will be fine, I didn't factor in the vest.

Harmichal was the drunk trade after watching a replay of the Suns Adelaide game.

[Johnny Canuck]

Barlow will be a great pickup in round 6 or 7. KHunt makes me think that Rubin guessed your password.

[Pieface]

Not dead last this week. Woot!

Had effing Bastinac named as emergency :(

[rubin]

Hurn ended up doing alright - 141 points. Happy with that one.

[BrisWesty]

Stupid Mumford, was away for the weekend and couldn't sub him out. :(

[Yossarian]

Hurn ended up doing alright - 141 points. Happy with that one.

That will drop off when they play an AFL team!

[Ashes]

Supastars will use two trades this week. Undecided whether to use some of the surplus now or wait and upgrade some of rookies to premiums once they've risen in value.

Chad Cornes numbers are tempting as a forward option but don't think I can bring myself to bring in an old timer who'll likely go down with an injury at some point..

[Shadesy]

So Round 3 this week, When you should use your first 2 trades of the year.

Traded out Enright (in lieu of Broughton) and Koby Stevens for a Huge Price Increase in Adam Kennedy (who I had right up until the last minute...doh) and Goddard.

Looking at nearly $500k increase in my Rookies and low price players in Kennedy, Magner, Smith, Giles, Motlop, Bugg, Morris and Smedts.

Marty Clarke, Hargrave and Kruezer have been great pick ups in price value and Input as well.

Looking at Barlow in Round 5-6 as his price will drop a bit this week but is starting to play more games. Barlow for Coniglio could be one of the all time greatest trades of all time!

[Johnny Canuck]

Karmichael hunt on the horizon?

Having a tough trade week. My rooks are performing decently, with the exception of couch, who is killing it in the vfl and should get selected soon. Anyone going to risk Chadwick?

[Shadesy]

No Way with Chad...Just to unreliable IMO.

I have Couch, but sticking with him for 2 reasons:

1.) Needed to get out Stevens (who might play in lieu of Embley)
2.) I think he will play this week, (as you seaid Killing it in VFL and Melbourne suck) so another Cash Cow can come in handy for the said Barlow Trade to come. I have no injuries so no worries with him on my Bench and I can swap him into the Forwards if need be.

I have Hall and Smedts underperforming, but have to stick with them for now. They will go up in price somewhat regardless but they will need to be moved on in the next few weeks as they may reach there peak price early on.

[Shadesy]

PS...Who would even contemplate bringing in Karmichael Hunt. The mind Boggles!

[Ashes]

Chad is still on my possible ins list, but highly doubtful. Pretty happy with most of my squad, only really dud picks were Zach Smith, Hale and Darley who hasn't played a game for the GWS.

Will trade Darley for Delidio which will be handy, eating up 350k of the surplus. My second trade will depend a lot on selections tonight.

JC looks to have the bye this week. I'm probably 3 weeks away from major upgrades that'll hopefully have me more competitive.

[Yossarian]

Hunt will be the bargain on 2012.

[Ashes]

PS...Who would even contemplate bringing in Karmichael Hunt. The mind Boggles!

Only 26,000 have picked him.... :shock:

[Yossarian]

He scored an easy 70 odd round 1.

And I was intoxicated. And thought it was reversible.

[Shadesy]

His Breakeven this week is 10 Points, so he should go up in Value. They are Projecting around $13,500 this week, so its not a loss.

Depends if he is on your bench?

[Yossarian]

He will be bench, I'm playing Pieface so I might make him captain.

I think he will net me so coin, just not as much as Ellis or Mohr may have.

[Funky_Cliff]

I have been a bit disappointed in Ellis, but they are playing Melbourne this week so that should help. Very happy with my rucks of Kreuzer, Giles, McIntosh and Redden. My backs though, not at all happy...
We're improving though and should break 2000 this week.

[Ashes]

My trades are done. Delidio and Greene in, Darley and Dickson out.

Computer predicts JC 2120 def Ashes 1868.... At least it's predicting wins for me in the next 2 rounds after that.

[Johnny Canuck]

Woo hoo!

[Johnny Canuck]

Couple trades. Projected score now 2229.

[Pieface]

I will be lucky to crack 1600 this week...

I should have a much better idea how to go about it next year :lol:

[Shadesy]

Couch didn't get picked again!!! Do I stick with him or get stevens back in who might rack them up this week??

[Ashes]

Couch didn't get picked again!!! Do I stick with him or get stevens back in who might rack them up this week??

Depends on how many trades you've used and whether you need him to play or he's just a cash cow for you. You'd expect him to come in pretty soon, so might be worth just hanging in there. I had to pull e trigger on Darley and Dickson as I don't see much prospect of them being regulars.

[Pieface]

Was super stoked seeing Murphy as Captain with 139 points...

Then I looked at the 'pies and I had Reid. What a spud 12 points and out for who knows how many weeks ****!

[Yossarian]

You are no chance PF.

[Johnny Canuck]

There's the bye week, and the pie week. They are interchangeable.

[Yossarian]

Gold!

[Ashes]

Well played JC. Much closer than the projections suggested. If only Broughton hadn't come good this week...

Pretty happy with a score of 1934 with $700k still sitting in the bank.

[Shadesy]

Dam u Nat Fyfe!

[Pieface]

How much did I beat Yoss by?

[Yossarian]

I hate to be the one to tell you this. But you lost.

[Pieface]

Really? I felt I tried hard and deserved some luck.

[Yossarian]

You did deserve to win. But the 200 point margin suggested otherwise.

[Pieface]

**** you are in trouble if you only pegged me by 200. Study harder for next week Yoss.

[Yossarian]

Fyfe hurt me, as well as the late change to Watson (C) Ablett (VC).

Your team isn't that bad, it is unique. Your issue is your bench players have made you no cash really and Shane Tuck may never score 150 points again.

[Johnny Canuck]

Shane Tuck is a gun.

Ashes, $700K in the bank? Waste! Start spending it.

[zacdullard]

Top of the ladder 8)

I hope nobody on here is the coach of Oblong.

[Pieface]

I am suffering because I picked a footy team instead of a dreamteam team + I did zero research and picked about 10 blokes who aren't even cracking a game.

Might have sorted out the mess by round 10. Johncock has been an unmitigated disaster but at least he is playing. Can't wait until I can take him out the back and shoot him in a few weeks time.

[Yossarian]

You are sort of in luck because there are several genuinely good GWS players that haven't cracked a game yet so you can reap full reward.

JC looking back at Tucks dreamteam numbers, surprised he has cracked 120 so often. 150 was quite a lot though and I doubt he'll do it again this year.

[rubin]

dropped the ball a bit this weekend. just over 1600. shouldnt have made the trades i did. only advantage is that I had alot of money to play with this morning and team value increased a bit too.

[BrisWesty]

Hmmm, maybe I should have ditched Stevie J instead of Broughton.

[Yossarian]

Fyfe is an awkward situation.

[Shadesy]

Fyfe is an awkward situation.

I traded him for Barlow, but reversed it today! Goodes sitch doesn't help, so I moved Fyfe into the forwards this week, so I think I'll take the risk! Will know tomorrow if he is playing or not!

[Yossarian]

He was always a forward for me, really not sure what to do with him. I think he has to go as that 22 is going to sit there for awhile and the chance of re-injuring that shoulder must be quite high?

[Ashes]

Indeed. Is going to shed $ regardless, but will bounce back if he is fit. I'm pretty skeptical that he'll play this week, even if there wasn't structural damage.

I can see Boyd coming in this week for me. Not sure who I'll trade out tho.

[Johnny Canuck]

Ashes, spend the cash. Dreamteam is a stockmarket of players. Saved money is lost money. I keep enough to upgrade an overachieving player to an underachieving premium, that's about it.

Can't go wrong with Boyd.

I will be watching.the.Fyfe situation very carefully.

[rubin]

Bought in garry jnr and swan this week. Should help out dramatically.

[Ashes]

It'll happen. Carrying all that cash wasn't a deliberate plan. Will probably bin Wingard for Boyd; will leave me $350k or so to bring in one more premo. Contemplating upgrading Palmer to Murphy.

[Ashes]

Bought in garry jnr and swan this week. Should help out dramatically.

Who did you bin to make that happen?

[Johnny Canuck]

Ablett good. Swan bad. Dropping in value.

[rubin]

Who did you bin to make that happen?

I had 1.1mil in reserve cash. Also had the Melbourne bloke (I forgot his name now) who jumped up 80k who i traded for swan and traded out Bryce Gibbs for ablett which cost me about another 3 or 4k.

[Yossarian]

Do you mean carrazzo?

[Shadesy]

Why get rid of Gibbs?

[Johnny Canuck]

Why get rid of magnet? He is going to make another $200k.

Getting rid of Gibbs isn't that bad if you are bringing gaj in.

[Shadesy]

OMG magnet break even is still -45 or something! Kaching!

[Yossarian]

I don't think he has gibbs to get rid of.

[rubin]

I don't think he has gibbs to get rid of.

I had Gibbs and have already made the trade.

[Ashes]

Can't you reverse trades up until lockout this year?

[Yossarian]

[Ashes]

Who the hell is Marley Williams?

[rubin]

I don't think he has gibbs to get rid of.

my bad - i did have gibbs and ditched hm before rnd 3. i was getting them mixed up.

it was Bradley i ditched out this round, and magner (the melbourne boke)

[rubin]

Who the hell is Marley Williams?

one of the cheap guys to fill a gap. i started to run out of coin towards the start of round one and just looked for some real cheapies to chuck on the bench.

[Yossarian]

my bad - i did have gibbs and ditched hm before rnd 3. i was getting them mixed up.

You ditched Bradley for Swan or Ablett?

EDIT

Kepler Bradley?

[rubin]

thats the one.

[Yossarian]

thats the one.

You traded a forward for a mid. None of whom are DPP.

You are full of crap.

[rubin]

16532

wrong again yoss.

[Shadesy]

one of the cheap guys to fill a gap. i started to run out of coin towards the start of round one and just looked for some real cheapies to chuck on the bench.

FYI

Always put playing rookies on the bench! Similar to magner! They need to play 3 games before any change in price! For example on my benches I had Morris smedts, magner, coniglio, kennedy, smith, redden and stephenson!

All have played most under 100k and all will go up in price again!

Ditch the guys not playing for guys playing and jumping in price! Look at guys who have played one or two games before they jump in price!

Koby stevens, smedts are two examples! Lachie Neale my make his debut this week and Tom
Couch is another! Got to have Bench players earning coin, that's one of the golden rules!

Hope that makes sense!

[Yossarian]

16532

wrong again yoss.

That isn't even the trade screen??

[Shadesy]

That isn't even the trade screen??

Would it automatically shift a DPP to another spot?

[Johnny Canuck]

No.

[rubin]

panel on the right - trade history.

im not going to reverse the changes to prove it to you, because:
a) i seriously can't be bothered; and
b) i don't give 2 shits whether you believe it or not.

[Ashes]

You can trade Fwds for mids this year by trading out the fwd, transferring a dpp from mid to fwd, then bring in the mid. I did that last week: Dickson out, dangerfield fwd, Greene in.

[Yossarian]

Would it automatically shift a DPP to another spot?

Ah I forgot about that. I guess Zaharakis could go forward.

I apologise for saying you are full of crap Rubin, your team still sucks though.

[Johnny Canuck]

one of the cheap guys to fill a gap. i started to run out of coin towards the start of round one and just looked for some real cheapies to chuck on the bench. You stated about 6 posts ago that you had $1.1 mil in reserve.

[rubin]

You stated about 6 posts ago that you had $1.1 mil in reserve.

i did at the end of round 3.

at the start of round 1, i didn't.

[Shadesy]

You stated about 6 posts ago that you had $1.1 mil in reserve.

Hahahaha good call!

[Johnny Canuck]

i did at the end of round 3.at the start of round 1, i didn't.What trades in the first two rounds netted you $1.1 mil?

[rubin]

stokes and gibbs for milera and magner
vickery for Kennedy (GWS)

[Johnny Canuck]

Crazy getting rid of magnet and vickery ;b

[Johnny Canuck]

Have you traded Gibbs in all 3 rounds? The DreamTeam equivalent of a Rubin First Eagle?

[rubin]

No - I made a mistake. I traded Gibbs after end 2.

[Johnny Canuck]

Snake season. Pay it!

[Yossarian]

Heath Shaw and Thomas out for 2 weeks with hammys. How good.

[Yossarian]

Marley Williams could get a run out of all this. Genius rubes.

[rubin]

ummmm



ok?

[Johnny Canuck]

Drop Bryce Gibbs and get him.

[Ashes]

Looks like I'm hanging on to Fyfe. Pretty nervous about his prospects but hoping he'll be ok and output will bounce back.

Boyd is in, plus Stanley. Spent $400k for a projected 120pt improvement.

Got my eye on a few trades next week and then hopefully I'll be done for a while.

Are there any Ozgolf grudge matches this week? Rubin has the easiest win of all time in front of him. Yoss and JC not far behind him...

[Shadesy]

Bah Fyfe gone... Sidebottom in!

[Pieface]

Bah Fyfe gone... Sidebottom in!

*Looks at Post...Looks at Avatar*

Of course he is!

Limp***k out injured, Reid out injured, Lake suspended. My defense is on fire!

[Pieface]

Although I guess on the plus side those three outs only cost me about 100 points :roll:

[Shadesy]

Fyfe Back in...Pavlich OUt!

[BrisWesty]

Begone Stevie J, you haven't got the moves like Jagger, you've got the moves like Alan Didak 2011! Welcome aboard Mr Goddard!
Mr Fyfe, I'm not sold on your shoulder, think we might get the inaccurate man mountain from Adelaide instead. Kurt Tippett, come on down.

$70K extra cash in hand & 60 extra points.

Needed to get Stevie J out before he dropped below $400K and get onto Goddard while he's going well.

[Johnny Canuck]

Fyfe out? Million dollar question.

[rubin]

a few player shuffles, a few trades - good for a 300+ point improvement on last week (projected anyway, but for the first 3 rounds, thats been on the low side).

[Yossarian]

I really don't know. I think I'm keeping him and punting shaw for goodard.

Swan and GAJ?

[Johnny Canuck]

Gibbs out?

[rubin]

I really don't know. I think I'm keeping him and punting shaw for goodard.



Swan and GAJ?

Yeah - I know i mentioned em before. Completely forgot I had lonergan in my side who is doing sweet FA at the moment. so did a shuffle around of about 6 players to get him out on the bench and to get Reid in for the swans (at least he's scoring better than Lonergan).

[Yossarian]

You already had sam reid?

I would be trading some of your rookies that are never going to play.

Congrats in advance on your only win for the year.

[Shadesy]

RE: FYFE

I can't answer... if he plays you keep him I reckon. (I've traded him out twice already only to bring him back.)

Tonight will be played between the arcs, so not many goals, but plenty chances to get a truckload of Possies.

Lonergan is back on this week Rubes!

yep. since round 1. wasnt paying attention and he ended up benched last week unfortunately.

i'll be looking to move on some of the rookies next week. at least for some blokes who may get a few touches.

I'll leave lonergan on the bench i think. He's only projected to pick up 30 odd points. Reid should be good for another 60 - 70 point haul.

[rubin]

did a shadesy and started the trades again.

Ablett is still in, traded for K. Bradley, but brought in Murphey instead of Swan (got rid of Picken from the doggies for that one).

I expect Cox to come out firing against the hawks and rack up some big numbers - especially after a pretty poor showing last week. Lonergans head is still on the chopping block for next week though.

Soft spot for big Cox?

[rubin]

i know where your trying to go PF... ;)

But why not have the premier ruckman in the league in your team. Only makes sense really....

[Pieface]

Made some last minute changes...

Reversed my trade on Fyfe and got rid of limp**** and Reid.

My projected score still sucks though :)

[Yossarian]

Fyfe is a late withdrawal from the Freo team.

[Pieface]

Nooo....

Eh...I still have one more player on the park this way...

FML

[LarryLong]

Ross Lyon. If he was here right now I'd punch him in the balls. What's the go with Fyfe? I'm considering throwing him into the middle and trading for Scott Selwood. Trouble is, I just know that if I punt him he well play next week and start smashing out the tons again.

[Ashes]

Shows what a joke the dreamteam projections are. Fyfe out and the sub coming in (Hale) bumps up my projected score...

I heard he needs surgery and it was a matter of if they thought he could get through the season without it. Could well be season done if they've pulled him out.

[Yossarian]

He doesn't need surgery to keep playing. If he did it would have been done already. I imagine he will play next week.

[LarryLong]

I hedged my bets. Traded him in SC because my team was struggling. In DT I left him on the bench and played Kennedy from GWS.

[Johnny Canuck]

Rubin expects cox to come out firing. Just a normal Friday night.

[rubin]

Correction - I expect big Cox to come out firing.........

FFS - get it right if ur gonna do it. ;)

[Yossarian]

Who is croweaters and why o why do you have Zac Dawson AND Darren Glass in your team?

[Ashes]

Who is croweaters and why o why do you have Zac Dawson AND Darren Glass in your team?

Obviously one of these coaches that picks based on how they rate them as a footballer, rather than DT output. Which still doesn't explain it...

Not the worst selection ever. That goes to someone in a work fantasy footy league that used his first selection (and 2nd overall) on Peter Dean many years ago.

[Yossarian]

Carrazzo gone with a shoulder, 1 point. FFS.

LOL at the guy JC is playing having him as captain.

[Ashes]

And his VC is Dale Thomas....

[Yossarian]

Doesn't matter once you take the field you take the Captains score.

[Ashes]

I know, just found it amusing...

[rubin]

Bit pissed about carazzo - on the other hand though - rather pleased with the decision to bring marc murphy in.

[Pieface]

Murphy is a gun.

I have three WCE players and a hawk in my dreamteam. This is going to be ugly :(

[Yossarian]

How good was shannon hurn rubes?

[Yossarian]

K Hunt was handy though.

[rubin]

How good was shannon hurn rubes?

Hurn was a ****in crab for dt. Not that i got to see much of the game, but im guessin he played shit as well.

[rubin]

Not sure about anyone else, but from a projected 2050 (rounded) im currently looking at around 1500 for this round.

The only good thing so far is murphy. Even ablett died off.....

It needs to be said:
WTF!!!!!!!!!!

[zacdullard]

I have mumford and he isn't playing, will one of my bench players take his spot?

[Shadesy]

Only of one of your bench Ruckman is named as an emergency!

Rounded from 2050.532??

It is because your team isn't very good. Although I think most will be down this week with the number of premiums as late withdrawals.

Hurn attracted the tag as he does against good teams and his scores suffered accordingly.

Ablett got injured. Another FMD moment for dreamteam this week.

[Johnny Canuck]

What has happened to Ablett?

[Yossarian]

Apparently they use the lowest scoring emergency if two are selected. That is pretty ****ed.

[Yossarian]

What has happened to Ablett?

Some sort of knee injury, looked bad-ish.

[popper81]

Media over here are saying nothing major, maybe 2-3 weeks.

[Pieface]

S. Tuck - only highlight of a shocking DT Sunday. I don't think I had another player above 80 points all day.

[Johnny Canuck]

Tuck could be in trouble with the review panel. :)

[Yossarian]

He is a gun, I was wrong.

Why do they take your lowest scoring emergency? Cost me a league win. :(

[Pieface]

Don't name 2 for the same position?

[Yossarian]

Yeah but I knew Birchall would be a 0, so named both as I assumed you would get the highest. Just seems counter intuitive.

[Johnny Canuck]

It has always been that way and it should be. Otherwise you could intentionally name someone who is not going to play and guarantee you get the higher score of your two.bench guys. It would be another loophole.

[Yossarian]

That makes sense.

[Shadesy]

[Pieface]

I am garbage...yet still scoring better than Rubes. Amazing!
